Daddy loves Maddy

Father's Day is this weekend and my dad has been wanting something, anything I can sew. Well, I don't know about you, but I can't just do any old pattern and call it good enough. Not for my dad. 
Thinking about my dad and the things that he enjoys and really loves these days and I came up with my theme. He has this very old and quite fat little dachshund named Maddy. He swears she is more intelligent than most people and she really has become his best companion. So I wanted to make a quilt with her in mind but in his favorite colors. He said his favorite color combination is orange, brown and white. Then he says he likes blue too. To which I say, "I gotchu!"


I decided to make my first Quilt As You Go (QAYG) quilt. I didn't want to follow a pattern so I made my own. I wanted Dad to get something completely my own design. I'm mailing it to him tomorrow so he gets it before Sunday. I hope he likes it.
